In noting the presence here of Mr..
Chas w. Moseley, representing the ex-
tensive house of C. w. Thorne & Co., of

| Robert R. Porter, also a representative
of the same house. The latter gentle
man controls without infringement upon
his rights the territory in which he has
been long working with so much favor
and success; and his North Carolina
friends may long welcome his periodical
visits. Mr. Moseley has the South Caro-

of the host. In our case The host is the
public of AsheYille, and in Common with
the guests will hold Fome differences of
opinion. The chief object therefore to be
attained is not theIappeasingof hunger of
or'satisfao ton ofappetite, but the coming
LogeLneI IN SooO nalureo easy lanlllar
way, and with full stomachs and conten-
ted minds to discuss amicably and pleas
autly all the pros and cons of the weighty
subject. We are half inclined to think,
that however divergent views may be
when we all gather around the well laden
boards, after we have talked together and
heard all the facts, figures and arguments
we will disperse all of one mind and with
strong resolve to have all four of those
rail roads. And this is the resolution we
fshould take unless we propose to put the
brakes upon the train of progress.
